Vannessa Barnier : part three

How does your work first enter the world? Do you have a social group or writers group that you work ideas and poems with?

I perform my poetry at readings – I find that it’s the best way to get feedback, since it’s in real time, by a room full of people. I write something new for every reading I do – from there, my piece grows from the audible reactions, as well as what people tell me they liked after the reading. I always keep the parts people tell me they liked after the reading. That’s how I know what works: it stuck with them. So I stick with it, too.
